“We do accept the responsibility of what has happened, as what i said before it really pains me about the loss of this child. However, there is very little we can do but, because the child has passed away, the parents can take their decision. But what we know is we are on the wrong side. Because what has happened is abnormal and it should not have happened.”

For his part, Mabior Atem, who represents the family – which is suing the hospital over medical negligence – says they are insisting on seeking justice for the little girl.

“Up to now we cannot really disclose what we have as a family. But what we need is justice for the late. So there is nothing much that we can say at this point. We need to complete all the legal processes before we may decide what to do.”
